Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The War Memorial commemorates those from the district who served in World War One. Standing over 3.6m in height, the glass art panels feature imagery sourced form the Australian War Memorial and colour grades that unite them with the bluestone plinth - a locally sourced stone.

The monument also commemorates the 64 Australians who received the Victoria Cross during World War One, including Winchelsea’s Albert Jacka. The Victoria Cross is the highest award for acts of bravery in wartime. Funding was received through the Anzac Centenary Grants Program.
